Whats the path forward? Is there any way to improve animal welfare in the short term looking forward? 💡 This on episode of Manolin Inc.'s Fish n’ Bits, I look into these questions and what the business environment current looks like: • Norwegian Veterinary Institute reports that a record number of salmon died last year at historically high rates • Merck's record $1.3B acquisition of Elanco Aqua • Public announcements of STIM, Benchmark Holdings plc, and Atlantic Sapphire going up for sale • Early January acquisitions by Cooke Inc. and Lerøy Seafood Group ASA to vertically integrated their businesses more Tune in below to listen! 👇 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gAm485Av Apple: https://lnkd.in/g37z-xDw #fishhealth #salmon #norway #aquaculture #seafoodindustry
Love seeing this! Mortality rates about postrelease of salmon/steelhead here in the PNW is not easy to find. Wish we had easy access to something like to every day fishermen.

Highly interesting!!
